Tho Yakuts of Siberia

Three hundred versts from Yakutsk l
saw men of go and 20 with sets of teeth
small and pearly white and polished and
healthy as those of the handsomest Amer
lean girl of sixteen. Decay and suffering
and unsightliness and loss are actually
unknown. A physician of Yakutsk told
me that he believes the reason of this
phenomenon is to be found in the habits
and kind of God eaten by the natives, as
well as to q certain care taken by them
from childhood up. In the first place the
Yakuts do not touch sugar in any form
for the simple reason that they cannot
afford to purchase it. Secondly, they are
in the habit of drinking daily large guam
titles of fermented sour milk, summer and
winter, which is an a"nti-scorbutic and is
very beneficial in preserving the teeth.
And lastly, they have the habit of chew
ing a preparation of the rosin of the fir
tree, a piece of which, tasting like tar,
they masticate after every meal, in order
specially to clean the teeth and gums of
particles of food that may remain after
meals. The gum or rosin is sold and pre-
pared by all apothecaries in Siberia, and
is much used by Russian ladies. If any
one would make an exhaustive study on
this subject and publish the results OF his
observations he would, / imagine, confer
a lasting benefit on suffering humanity

TRYING to RalIy tho Foe.

Maj. Livingston's horse had been shot,
and the MAJORS hip injured by the fall.
he was very anxious to change the retreat
into an advance, and thus, on foot, swing
ing his sword, he ordered everybody to
Fright about, facer' But his orders
were UNDECIDED.
At last, coming up to q regiment march
ing in tolerable order, in the same direc-
ton with the general current, and con-
Guiding that they were sufficiently strong
at least to cover the retreat of the wound
ed n exhausted, he ordered them to
halt N face to the front, giving emphasis
to the command by earnest jesticulations
with his sword, and insisting that it was
a shame to see a whole regiment running
away. At this juncture an officer de-
manded:
"Who are you, STRIP
"Maj. Livingston, of the Seventy
sixth"
"S~eventy-sixth WHAT" asked the
stranger.
"seventy-sixth New York." replied the
major.
''Well, then, you are my prisoner, for
you are attempting to rally the Second
Mississippi"
The major was taken to headquarters,
but, fortunately, made his escape the
next day.-Youth's Companion.

Cheyenne Had a Spell of 1t During
Yesterday.

Cheyenne is so used to the most beau
tiful weather that when a genuine cold
SNAP comes whooping down on it every
body is disposed to howl about 1t. There
was enough weather to go completely
around yesterday and slop wei the edges.
The thermometer reached zero early in the
morning and from that time on till 9
O'Clock the mercury continued to gradually
drop.
There was no lalli-gagging about the
street corners last night, and the happiest
man was the nan who could get closest to
the hottest of fires. The fellow who per-
sists in leaving the street doors ajar was
abroad in the land, and the fact that he
still lives is sufficient proof that Cheyenne
people are good natured.
AS will be noticed by the table pub
lished elsewhere, the cold snap is much
more vigorous east, north, northeast and
northwest of here than it is south or west.
Cheyenne came close to the front in the
weather line, being neck and neck with
Saint Vincent, Mimi, Fort A~ssinaboine,
Mont, leading in the race by two degrees.
At 9 o'clock last night the signal service
officer reported the thermometer at 100
below zero. lat IL 80, Rhodes & TroxelPs
thermometer, which is sheltered, indicated
s. below zero, but it still seemed cold
enough to freeze the caudal appendagc of
the metaphorical brass monkey.

The venerable out vigorous Gen. F. f.
Spinner, formerly United States treasurer,
writes from his camp at Pablo Beach,
Fla, to his friends the boys to spare the
birds. 81 well recollect," he says, chat
1 once shot u robin. He flew some dis
lance, and fell in the tall grass. l went
and picked him up and found that l had
inflicted a fatal wound in his breast. The
poor wounded bird looked up into my face
SO imploringly that it caused me to shed
tears, and now, today, at the age of IS
years, l am haunted by the pitiful, i'm
ploring look of that poor innocent, dying
bird, and feelings of deep remorsc come
over me whenever 1 see a robin. Iwould be
willing to make great sacrifices to be
made guiltless of the wanton murder of
that poor innocent bird" The general
makes n special plea for that sweetest of
all American songsters, the i'll named
catbird. But n for the English sparrow,
he says with righteous wrath, xiii him
wherever you find him, in season and out
of season. He has never been known to
do any good and is of no use. Give him
nj quarter, but go for him as you would
for any other thief. New York Tri-

With the advent OF railroads and other
evidences of civilization, the frontier is
fast disappearing-in fact has already dis
appeared.
On the banks OF the upper Missouri
quite a number of these old relics still re-
side, usually with Indians and surrounded
by very large families of half breed child
rem. OF the ones perhaps best known are
Clenore, Narcelle and "old man"Protsau.
These three live in the vicinity of Fort
Pierre, ID. T., and are known far and
wide. Especially is Proteau well known,
because OF his slight regard for truth and
his rather crude ideas of the laws of
meum and tcum. AS a gaudy prevarica-
tor is he particularly brilliant. He loves
to talk about re old times when he
"waz wild de Hudson Bay companie,"
and of the proves of such men as jim
Bridger, Kit Carson and others of that
kind.
To illustrate Proteau's versatility as an
accomplished lair it is only necessary to re-
late a little event in which he and the
writer were the principal parties. As us
ual, Pouteau was talking of Jim Bird
gare' and his feats of strength. In a
moment of enthusiasm he exclaimed
by Gar, young Teller, Jim Bridgare waz
de stronges man wat avcr leef. | see him
catch wan buflo wide a rope, jes laik
cowboy catch calf. and den run up and
trow de buf'lo wild wan hand"
The writer, not wishing to appearslike
too much of a tenderfoet, thought he,
too, would. tell of a strong man, so re-
marked: "Prouteau, l, too, knew once a
remarkably strong man."
Where he leef?' was the answer.
I'm Missouri, Proteau," replied the
writer.
In Missionary? What hecs nam2"
Samson"
"Samsahn2 Why, | knew Samsahn.
Hugh He no good. Why. Jim Bridgare
he wan tousand times so strong. May, |
see Jim Bridgare lick de stuffen out of
Samsahn wan night hin a ranch, and
Samsahn he yell jest laik child. Samsahn,
hell"
This last part OF the sentence was ut
tered in a tone of indescribable disgust,
and Proteau ambled off, probably in
search of a man who could lie if he started
out to do so.
